I think this has less to do with a potential takeover and more to do with the present working conditions. Although management has a great group of people with an open door policy, right now there is no method of collectively bringing forth ideas and/or concerns. The pilots don't even have their own ...

No class for December, but two classes in January (one at the beginning and one at the end) and then one per month after that.

If you are so certain how the point system works, why don't you explain it on this thread for everybody to read. You are the one who claimed to be talking to a Director who explained the application point system. As in one of my previous replies, I called out the Directors and asked them to post th...

Not sure how you are going to get private enterprise to disclose their hiring methods, but that would be interesting to see how it all works. By the way you still haven't explained how you heard and/or know that those eight specific schools get 15 extra points and ex AF guys get nothing. Those are p...

Curious to know how you found out the points breakdown? I've spoken to one of the directors and the hiring manager and they have explicitly stated that the bare minimum at the moment is "post secondary education." So an aviation diploma is equal to an engineering degree when it comes to fulfilling t...

All that being said after reading "The Peoples Pilot" I think the gentleman should probably be paid a visit by an RCMP or CSIS type just to ensure he is not an extremist or extremist supporter that may cause trouble. Let him know he has caused concern to some fellow Canadians. It's a lot more compl...

He was a sikh extremist from the early eighties who was trying to liberate the state of Punjab from Indian oppression. The Indian army killed him (and thousands of bystanders in the process) in 1984 and his death is what ultimately led to Indira Ghandi being killed as well as the subsequent Air Indi...

Important to note that while it is possible for someone to "bs" their way through the interview, it's quite difficult to do the same on the pysch eval. Apart from a few blatant questions there really is no right or wrong answers as it just comes down to being brutally honest about yourself. If you'r...

From what I hear they've been running interviews three times a week since the end of June, and more scheduled for next week.

Maybe they're piling up candidates before making a decision?

Any word on groundschools for August?

according to the YBR airport manager there was some pressure from WJ/AC to install an ILS at YBR for alternate purposes when flying to YWG.

i have to agree about the copper/brown serengeti's...bought a "higher" end model about 7 years ago and i use them under all lighting conditions and they are awesome. haven't had the need to upgrade ever since.

Tofu, man, your out of hand. Kinda make me laugh tho...Bit of a case of small man syndrome it seems. Much that of JK up in Thompson. but he flys a tube. You guys should wrestle to see what company is better and makes more money. not cool to slag someone off personally by posting their initials on t...

t's a written agreement jackass, You can't compete.

a written "agreement" means exactly that...both parties CHOSE not to compete.

do you realize how hard you would be hit if you tried your tubes against a ATR or SAAB.

no shit...that's why we CHOOSE not to compete with them. we're in the business of making money plain and simple.

any link for this new information? couldn't find it on the recruiting website.

i know this has been hit on the head a lot recently but i had a couple of specific examples that i wanted to clarify: - assume 704 without ops spec. - rwy cap advisory vis: 1 RVR 50 - therefore vis report = 3/4 RVR 40 (75% of CAP) - assume u have not passed faf inbound - airport is south of 60N lati...

Seems like Perimeter employees never post their story's on here which looks bad on them, don't you think? Because they are acting like it's Top secret information. They help no one by not sharing! How come they never print the name of the pilot? How does it look bad on Perimeter employees by not po...

If you compare prices, they are the same fare on every route! the cheapest fares on both AC and WJ are pretty much identical. however, if you compare the last minute fares/last seats available on a flight, WJ is significantly cheaper that AC. so moral of the story...book early enough and you can't ...

WhiteBeacon, valid point...but you can be damn sure that WJ WILL NOT re-configure their aircraft. however, at the same time (as mentioned earlier) OneWorld has lost potential revenue due to the fact that Canadian is no longer around. the most simplest solution to the seat class issue is that if the ...

well we've heard extensive rumours over the past 2 years about Cathay's interest in a code-share partnership with WJ. it's definitely on the cards, but until the new reservation system is up and running (1st Q 2007 is that last i heard) it's all speculation. but i see them creating some strong code-...

i was only able to send you the pics...the videos got bumped by your email provider.

i was however, able to send one of the videos...only 8 seconds, but it's where he screams out, "rita mcneil". a la the 40 year old virgin and the "kelly clarkson" bit.

Okay, so tonight C-HRIS got waxed by the lovely office ladies from cargo.

The pics and videos have now been sent to ISTP...so hopefully he'll be able to put them up soon.

Honestly, this was the funniest shit i've ever seen.

twizzler, WJ's OTP is based on when the doors of the a/c are closed - which is listed as controllable delay otp (this accounts for boarding delays, etc)...the other is uncontrollable. that's how it's measured. however, there are additional measurements for departure time etc, ie. D15 (flights leavin...

not only did these "experts" piss me off but these dumbass eyewitnesses as well...my absolute favourite was this woman on city/cp24: "we were on the 401 stuck in traffic when we saw a huge bolt of lightning...30 seconds later we saw an airplane in the ditch and at that point realized the airplane wa...

that's a typo...

flight 8501 was yul-yyz.

french, but not that french.
